EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Effects of the new civilization at Tripoli" takes us back to a significant moment in history, specifically the Italo-Turkish war of 1911-12. The image, originally published in Le Petit Journal's supplement illustre on November 5th, 1911, showcases the impact of modernization and colonization on Tripoli. In this vibrant color lithograph by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century, we witness a juxtaposition between tradition and progress. A male figure dressed in colonial attire sits confidently behind the wheel of a motorcar while wearing goggles and a pith helmet. He navigates through the desert landscape alongside an indigenous rider atop a camel. The scene symbolizes Italy's claim over Ottoman provinces Cyrenaica and Tripolitania during this period. It also reflects broader themes of imperialism, occupation, and cultural exchange that characterized European powers' presence in Africa during that era. The composition captures both curiosity and tension as different cultures collide against the backdrop of vast sand dunes. The inclusion of religious symbols such as mosques suggests not only Muslim influence but also Christian presence within this evolving society. This remarkable artwork provides us with valuable insights into historical events while raising questions about identity, power dynamics, and societal transformation brought about by colonialism. As we gaze upon this image from our private collection today, it serves as a reminder to reflect upon our shared past and its lasting effects on contemporary global relations.
